5 million chinese test living on 100% renewable energy

According to Xinhua News Agency in China, approximately 5 million citizens in the northwest of the country survivied on 100% renewable energy for 1 week. This is a massive leap towards moving from fossil fuels to a more renewable resource.

The region used approximately 1.1 Billion kilowatt which equates to roughly 535,000 tonnes of coal. Pollution has become a significant problem in large cities in China and if we have large movements of change on a national or even regional level then there is hope more and more countries including the United States can shy away from coal and go renewable, cue Donald Trump.
